'''Vyronas''' ([[Greek language|Greek]], Modern: Βύρωνας, Ancient/[[Katharevousa]]: Βύρων), older forms: '''Viron''' and '''Vyron''' is a suburb in the northeastern part of [[Athens]], [[Greece]]. The city is named after [[Lord Byron]], the famous English poet and writer, who is a national hero of Greece. It is located S of [[Attiki Odos]] (number 65), also known as the Hymettus Ring, which opened in [[2004]] with the Katechaki interchange. It is also located SE of [[Athens]] and E and NE of Vouliagmenis Avenue.

Vyronas started as a commune and later became a municipality.

The area was made up of farmlands to the west and the rocky areas of the Hymettus to its east ; urban development replaced much farmland in the [[1920s]] and the [[1930s]]. Today, the area from the western to the east-central part of the municipality is urbanized, while the businesses are within its main avenues and streets. The forest of Hymettus lies to the east.

Vyronas or Vyrona has schools, lyceums, gymnasia, banks, a post office and squares (''plateies'').
